Description

Spellbound (Columbia, R-1954). Italian 2 - Fogli (39.25" X
55") Anselmo Ballester Artwork.
Gregory Peck stars as the newly appointed director of a mental
asylum and he proves to be incompetent in his role, raising the
suspicion of one of the doctors on staff (Ingrid Bergman). Although
Bergman suspects Peck could be a highly disturbed amnesiac who
murdered the real director, things are complicated by her romantic
feelings toward him. Surrealist Salvador Dali lends his talents to
the remarkable dream sequences in the film, adding just the right
touch to a movie that is set in a mental institution. Certainly a
thematic illustration, Italian artist Anselmo Ballester hones in on
the plot's whirlwind of twists and turns with his stunning
portraits of Peck and Bergman. This scarce poster is rarely seen in
auction, and looks great after touchup was applied to pinholes in
the borders, chips and small tears in the borders, minor crossfold
chips, and a couple of diagonal scratches in the title area. Very
Fine- on Linen.
